There is a feature filter option for Atlas, but it is a general filter, so you 
cannot display only the current feature.

There already is a demand to mask all map but the current feature content. 
This is not trivial to implement with current code.

See discussion here :
http://hub.qgis.org/issues/3253
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.qgis.user/19947

This will probably be implemented at some point when someone funds it.

What you would like is easier to implement I think.
Could you file a feature request at http://hub.qgis.org/issues ?

The best way to get that feature implemented would be of course to directly 
fund it.
